My sister and I love Princess Bride together more than we love anything together. We will cheerfully recite chunks of the movie at each other. Despite having seen it upwards of 30 times now, I've never seen it with her. Well, not with her in the room. I think I've watched it with her on the phone once.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I remember taking a trip to Italy with my parents and my brother when I was 16. Two weeks (or more?) of gorgeous Italian scenery, art, food, etc., and the whole time my brother and I talked to each other almost exclusively in Princess Bride quotes and Monty Python quotes.
My poor parents.

I say, "Is too much, lemme sum up" to people and they DON'T GET IT? HOW YOU NOT GET THAT, PEOPLE?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I say that one all the time, and who doesn't use "Have fun storming the castle!"?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
One day, I will properly use "As you wish." One day.

No one in my family is a big Princess Bride fan, which flabbergasts me. They just don't really get it.

"Game over, man!" is very useful.
And, of course, "You keep using that word."

If that's what it takes, yes.
And that will probably be the least of it.
